- The drive up has been attributed to LINK marines aiming to liquidate authors of the malicious ChainLink report.
- LINK marines are optimistic $10 will be broken soon.
Back in mid-July, crypto investors and traders responded to a poll asking them whether ChainLink (LINK) would break $10 before Bitcoin broke through $10,000. When the poll concluded, 67% of the respondents believed that LINK would be the first to moon before Bitcoin as seen in the tweet below.

ChainLink’s (LINK) Visible Correction Interrupted by a Plot to Liquidate Authors of Malicious Report
Furthermore, and a few days after the tweet, ChainLink (LINK) hit its previous all-time high of $8.92 and looked set to embark on a correction that could have seen it fall to as low as $5 – another previous all-time high value.
However, ChainLink’s bullish momentum was experiencing a revival after LINK marines united in a bid to liquidate the authors of the malicious report that called for a $0.07 value of ChainLink. Since the campaign to pump LINK begun, the digital asset has rebounded from $6.50 levels to its new all-time high of $9.98 – Binance rate.
This value is 2 cents shy of the $10 value of LINK predicted by participants of the poll presented by Timothy Peterson of Cane Island Alternative Advisors.

Conclusion
Summing it up, ChainLink (LINK) has bounced from what looked like a certain pullback, to post a new all-time high of $9.98. This push towards $10 has been catalyzed by LINK marines banding together in a bid to liquidate the authors of the report that called for a $0.07 LINK.
